Here she all is ready for clean up and delivery. It looks fantastic. I love it, can't wait for pick up Tuesday.

The car was meant to have chrome line exterior, but the dealer shall be able to fix that lil prob. The satnav screen looks awesome.

Now she just needs the spotties put on the front.

Its gonna be one friggin long weekend, waiting til Tuesday!!!!

swamos · Mar 9th, 2007, 10:44 AM

I must say this reminds me of all the excitement when the MINI started being delivered here in 02

poki · Mar 9th, 2007, 11:46 AM

New MINI day is always exciting although being one of the first with something new will be even morer exciting

Congratulations.

So, you planning on being violently ill on Tuesday? Maybe need to visit an interstate doctor?

85NIXMIN · Mar 10th, 2007, 01:58 PM

Still counting down I pressume??

Michael · Mar 12th, 2007, 01:09 AM

Thanks for all the nice comments

I disappeared down to the classic race meet on Phillip Island for the weekend to kill some time and take my mind off waiting for my car.

Ohhhh the pain, sitting around the house, can't be motivated today. It's gonna be one verrry looong day. I have got to clean my other car as the new owner will be picking it up tomoz too.

As for pics, I'll be stuffing this thread with pics 'til it bursts!

Stoopid long weekends, I'd have my car today if it were not for stoopid long weekends!!!

85NIXMIN · Mar 12th, 2007, 01:16 AM

Not long to go now....counting down the seconds?

So what time are you going tomorrow to pick it up?
As soon as the dealer opens?

Michael · Mar 12th, 2007, 01:18 AM

Was thinking of rolling out the ol' sleeping bag and camping on the front steps tonight.

It's a bit pathetic really, I'm sitting here looking at my photos again and again.

Hopefully the car will be ready early 'cause I'm meeting up with some MINI2 guys in the arvo if all goes well.
